Something has got to give...

I keep turning the game on and trying here ggg but something has to give.

we have falling through the map on the stage with the rituals the first time, we have extreme stutter in towns and on certain maps. No way to loot while adds are on the screen. Targeting on console is pretty weird. You have no way to "pick" what your aiming at and once your character targets something, welp lets hope that's the target you wanted cause breaking that lock is pretty hard, then you have the exact opposite, when you get to far away, even if you see the adds you can't aim at them.

I am in campaign act 2(second character the season) on an essence drain contagon witch and its bad... ive had zero luck on gear. I am still in blues and a few yellows but the best piece are low level like 15. I have found very limited currency to try and craft and what I have found was used almost right away with horrible outcomes. I have found 1 yellow, yes one... I have crafted or bought my other ones and to be fair I can deal with allll of this, what I having a huge problem dealing with is the following. and let now get started on at the bench meant to break down items for shards. Ive found almost no slotted gear to disenchant. Im found to art orbs and im afraid to use them.

I have gotten 1 spirit gem and it was from the quest, I messed up and chose the wrong skill, Now I have not found another, have no way to get another. The second problem is my auto attack, the basic one from the wand... it has more dps than both my skills combined. I know that's due to a lack of gear and currency, but when you add them both together along with maps reseting when you go to town, loot disappearing when you die, and no way to loot while adds are on the screen without losing a skill slot and you have a horrible experience in a game that I want to love sooo much. this doesn't even begin to touch the sheer amount of time spent running from bosses cause everything either one shots me or comes super close to it, again cause I have no gear.

I know you have patches coming but none of the notes, nor the stream yesterday have even mentioned the console issues. I get that pc seems to be the bulk of your player base, but I promise you us console people play just as much and spend just as much so please loot into our problems too.


Edit: I feel I need to clarify on loot... it needs to be meaning full loot. As a witch casting spells, getting a mace or a spear does nothing for me and there for is not meaningful loot. So while you look into the loot issues please put that into the equation. As you play there might be 40 drops for you on a stage, but out of the 40 drops 1 has a socket and 1 is for your build.

Just a suggestion for looting in combat - rebind the “action” skill to something else that has no other skill with it - I use LT + X (PS5)

As for the rest; With you 100%. Same class, same problems. The campaign was a brutal slog - the 0.1 titan was a walk in the park in comparison.

So I just stopped slotting a skill on my x button for now. As of the rest, after the recent patches I just deleted all the characters I created and started over and I have to say I am very glad I did, Granted I am not to act 3 yet, but the game in general feels so much better. I am getting gear, currency and adds are dying at a much better rate. I a kinda scared to say this but I thin they may have gone to far on a few of the adds in reference to slowing them down. I hope everyone is having a better experience like I am, and to be fair it could still change as I progress through but so far its been a night to day difference. I am still running an essence drain contagion witch because that is what I want to run this season and I don't want to do the meta huntress or a minion build.
